Summary
ImageMagick before 7.1.2-34 contains a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) in its -morph processing. Crafted images cause writes beyond the bounds of a heap buffer. An attacker who supplies such an image can corrupt heap memory and crash the application when a user processes it with the -morph option.
